Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Of Mwcnt/ Mu-Metal/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposite, C. Sarala Rubi, S. Gowthaman, N. G. Renganathan

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Shielding material containing a blend of multi walled carbon nano tube (MWCNT) and mumetal has been prepared and their electromagnetic shielding capabilities were characterised through XRD, SEM, EDAX, etc. The shielding effectiveness (SE) was measured using vector network analyser in X-band frequency range (8-12 GHz).


Improvement Of Mild Steel Surface Properties By Fly-Ash + Quartz + Illmenite Composite Coating, Ajit Behera Dec 2012

Improvement Of Mild Steel Surface Properties By Fly-Ash + Quartz + Illmenite Composite Coating, Ajit Behera

Ajit Behera

Plasma spray of fly-ash composite gives a stable improvement of surface properties for industrially used materials/equipments, which has become a major technological research area encompassing studies in a broad range from medical field, chemical field to ceramic field. In the present investigation, coatings are developed on mild steel substrates using fly-ash + quartz + illmenite composite (in a weight percentage ratio of 60:20:20) at various plasma torch input power levels ranging from 11 to 21 kW DC. Metallographic and chemical characterization of the produced composite coatings was performed with the aid of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XRD analysis. The …


Velocity Effects On The Wear, Friction And Tribochemistry Of Aluminum Mmc Sliding Against Phenolic Brake Pad Jun 2004

Velocity Effects On The Wear, Friction And Tribochemistry Of Aluminum Mmc Sliding Against Phenolic Brake Pad

A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb

Two aluminum metal matrix composites (MMC) reinforced with 13 vol.% of SiC or B4C particles were made by stir casting followed by hot extrusion. Effects of sliding velocity on the wear, friction and tribochemistry of the worn surfaces of both composites sliding against a commercial phenolic brake pad have been investigated under dry condition. The wear tests were carried out using a pin-on-disc type apparatus at two linear sliding speeds: 1.62 and 4.17 m s-1 under a constant contact pressure of 0.75 MPa for a sliding distance of 5832 m. The coefficient of friction was recorded and wear rate of …
